*This post contains PR items from PlainandSimple. Please see the end of the post for more details.

A white T-shirt is the key element to any wardrobe, whatever your style. The white T-shirt is the best wardrobe essential to have to hand in your wardrobe. It may seem basic, but it's a classic item because of its minimalistic quality and versatility. The white t-shirt can be combined in different ways to create a look for any occasion.

I'm not going to lie, I may own more than one white T-shirt. I own a classic white tee, a boxy white tee and a scoop-neck white tee. People may read this and think I'm crazy, but I do like different styles of tees to hand in my wardrobe. Different style tees work better with other outfits. Well, that's my personal opinion anyway.

So, why should I wear a white T-shirt?

1) For it's versatility and simplicity

The white tee is like a blank canvas. It's so easy to create an outfit around it. As I said, the white tee can be dressed up or down. Whether having coffee with a friend or an evening out, a white tee can carry you through any occasion. 

2) The styling possibilities are endless

A white T-shirt's key factor is the endless styling possibilities. It seamlessly transitions from season to season. You can layer it up in the Autumn and Winter months with your favourite jacket or blazer. In the Spring and Summer, you can wear it with shorts or a skirt on a warm day. The white T-shirt is a great wardrobe staple for all year round. 

3) It's timeless

The white T-shirt has been around for like forever. I can't remember a time since I was born when I haven't seen someone wear or own a white tee. Centuries ago, the white tee was worn more as an undergarment than for everyday wear. These days, it's become a popular and timeless item hung up on most people's wardrobes. How times have changed.

4) It's a sustainable choice

Sustainability has become a factor in determining how many clothes we buy. With clothing having the biggest impact towards climate change, it's important to buy clothing from charity shops, secondhand sites like Vinted or sustainable brands like PlainandSimple. PlainandSimple is a sustainable, circular clothing brand that creates premium quality everyday clothing that's been made to be recycled or composted. 

PlainandSimple believes sustainability is not only about making products sustainable but also about being responsible for that product from beginning to end. If you have had enough of your PlainandSimple item, just send it back to the brand and you'll get rewarded with 15% off your next order. They'll take care of the recycling bit at their end. 

I got sent this fantastic *Crew Neck Organic T-shirt from PlainandSimple and I have to say, the quality is second to none. The tee, which is made of 100% organic cotton, is durable and soft, making the quality really stand out. The T-shirt doesn't fade, discolour or shrink in the wash. The packaging that PlainandSimple use is 100% compostable and recyclable and there is 0% plastic from label to fabric. 

I will definitely buy my tees from PlainandSimple in the future as I love what the brand stands for in terms of sustainability and I love the quality of the items! 

These are the reasons why I think everyone should wear a white T-shirt! 

The white tee is such a classic piece to own, it's so versatile and it'll never go out of fashion. It's just so effortlessly timeless. My wardrobe will certainly never be without one!
